Condensation in linear wedges formed by semi-infinite walls is a well-established critical phenomenon characterized by the continuous growth of an adsorbed liquid layer as bulk two-phase coexistence is approached. In this study, we…

The aim of this article is to show the existence, and also give an explicit construction, of infinite sets of orthogonal exponentials for certain families of convex polytopes which include simple-rational polytopes and also non simple…

We study relations between certain totally geodesic foliations of a closed flat manifold and its collapsed Gromov-Hausdorff limits. Our main results explicitly identify such collapsed limits as flat orbifolds, and provide algebraic and…

Fold maps are smooth maps at each singular point of which it is represented as the product map of a Morse function and the identity map. Round fold maps are, in short, such maps the sets of all singular points of which are embedded…

We introduce the notion of a zebra structure on a surface, which is a more general geometric structure than a translation structure or a dilation structure that still gives a directional foliation of every slope. We are concerned with the…

Graded skew-commutative rings occur often in practice. Here are two examples: 1) The cohomology ring of a compact three-dimensional manifold. 2) The cohomology ring of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement (the Orlik-Solomon algebra).…

In this article, we study the geometric properties of codimension one foliations on Riemannian manifolds equipped with vector fields that are closed and conformal. Apart from its singularities, these vector fields define codimension one…

Understanding non-Haken 3-manifolds is central to many current endeavors in 3-manifold topology. We describe some results for closed orientable surfaces in non-Haken manifolds, and extend Fox's theorem for submanifolds of the 3-sphere to…

We show that a complete non-compact 3-manifold with scalar curvature bounded below by a positive constant admits a singular foliation by surfaces of controlled area and diameter.

We consider the relationship between hyperbolic cone-manifold structures on surfaces, and algebraic representations of the fundamental group into a group of isometries. A hyperbolic cone-manifold structure on a surface, with all interior…

We prove a generalisation of Bott's vanishing theorem for the full transverse frame holonomy groupoid of any transversely orientable foliated manifold. As a consequence we obtain a characteristic map encoding both primary and secondary…

An affine manifold is a manifold with an affine structure, i.e. a torsion-free flat affine connection. We show that the universal cover of a closed affine 3-manifold $M$ with holonomy group of shrinkable dimension (or discompacit\'e in…

This paper is devoted to the resolution of singularities of holomorphic vector fields and of one-dimensional holomorphic foliations in dimension 3 and it has two main objectives. First, from the general perspective of one-dimensional…

We construct uncountably many simply connected open 3-manifolds with genus one ends homeomorphic to the Cantor set. Each constructed manifold has the property that any self homeomorphism of the manifold (which necessarily extends to a…

This paper concerns the class of contractible open 3-manifolds which are ``locally finite strong end sums'' of eventually end-irreducible Whitehead manifolds. It is shown that whenever a 3-manifold in this class is a covering space of…

It is well known that the umbilic points of minimal surfaces in spaces of constant sectional curvature consist only of isolated points unless the surface is totally umbilic on some connected component, as for example the Hopf form is…

In this work we classify foliations on $\mathbb{CP}^3$ of codimension 1 and degree $2$ that have a line as singular set. To achieve this, we do a complete description of the components. We prove that the boundary of the exceptional…

In this paper we consider completed coverings that are branched coverings in the sense of Fox. For completed coverings between PL manifolds we give a characterization of the existence of a monodromy representation and the existence of a…

A transitive compact foliated space is shown to be a Riemannian foliation if and only if it is locally connected, finite dimensional, strongly equicontinuous and quasi-analytic, and the closure of its holonomy pseudogroup is quasi-analytic.

Transverse one dimensional foliations play an important role in the study of codimension one foliations. In \cite{KR2}, the authors introduced the notion of flow box decomposition of a 3-manifold $M$. This is a decomposition of $M$ that…
